Direct linkArtis, Jonet; Arunachalam, Sudha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The goal of this work was to examine the semantic and syntactic properties of the vocabularies of autistic and non-autistic infants and toddlers to see if children in these two groups know different kinds of words. We focused on both receptive and expressive vocabularies. For expressive vocabulary, we looked only at the "active"…

Chelsea La Valle; Gabriela Davila Mejia; Carol L. Wilkinson; Nicole Baumer – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Toddlers with Down syndrome (DS) showcase comparable or higher rates of gestures than chronological age-- and language-matched toddlers without DS. Little is known about how gesture use in toddlers with DS relates to multiple domains of development, including motor, pragmatics, language, and visual reception (VR) skills. Unexplored is…

Pauline Maes; Chelsea La Valle; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Nongenerative speech is the rote repetition of words or phrases heard from others or oneself. The most common manifestations of nongenerative speech are immediate and delayed echolalia, which are a well-attested clinical feature and a salient aspect of atypical language use in autism. However, there are no current estimates of…

Deserno, Marie K.; Fuhrmann, Delia; Begeer, Sander; Borsboom, Denny; Geurts, Hilde M.; Kievit, Rogier A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism is often associated with early developmental delays in language and motor skills. However, little is known about the complex dynamic processes that drive the co-development of such early difficulties. The aim of the present study was to model the parallel growth of language and motor skills in a cohort of infants and to explore differences…

Slušná, Dominika; Rodríguez, Andrea; Salvadó, Berta; Vicente, Agustín; Hinzen, Wolfram – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background & aims: Individuals with non- or minimally verbal autism (nvASD) are primarily characterized by a severe speech production deficit, with speech limited to no or only a few words by school age. Significant unclarity remains over variability in language profiles across the lifespan, the nature of the language impairment seen, and…

Mazurek, Micah O.; Baker-Ericzén, Mary; Kanne, Stephen M. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Despite the importance of expressive language for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), expressive language assessments are not consistently included in ASD research and many studies do not adequately describe participants' verbal abilities. A valid and efficient measure of expressive language would facilitate consistent reporting…

Su, Pumpki L.; Rogers, Sally J.; Estes, Annette; Yoder, Paul – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined an insufficiently studied predictor of functional language, social motivation, in a group of 87 young children with autism spectrum disorder. Participants (age 14-31 months at the start of the study) were assessed at four times over 24 months. We tested total and indirect associations between early social motivation and later…

Reetzke, Rachel; Pfeiffer, Danika; Kalb, Luther G.; Holingue, Calliope; Zetlmeisl, Carrie; Hong, Ji Su; Landa, Rebecca – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Cross-informant ratings are considered best practice for assessing children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, informant disagreement often occurs, which can pose significant challenges to various aspects of clinical services. This study explored the degree of parent and speech-language pathologist (SLP) agreement on ratings of…

Fielding-Gebhardt, Heather; Bredin-Oja, Shelley L.; Warren, Steven F. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2021
The development of an expressive language score for people with autism based on the ADOS-2 was recently reported by Mazurek et al. (2019). The current study examined the construct validity of the ADOS-2 expressive language score (ELS) in a sample of adolescents with fragile X syndrome (n = 45, 10 girls), a neurodevelopmental disorder with high…

We investigated the early sociocognitive battery (ESB), a novel measure of preverbal social communication skills, in children with autism participating in the Paediatric Autism Communication Trial-Generalised (PACT-G). The associations between ESB scores, language and autism symptoms were assessed in 249 children aged 2-11 years. The results show…

Yoder, Paul J.; Stone, Wendy L.; Edmunds, Sarah R. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Younger siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (HR-Sibs) are at elevated risk for social communication deficits and language delays. One way to mitigate this risk early, before these deficits and delays become clear or impairing, may be to equip parents to use the strategies taught through the "Improving Parents as Communication…

We examined differences between children with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing children over an 8-month period in: (a) longitudinal associations between expressive and receptive vocabulary and (b) the extent to which caregiver utterances provided within an "optimal" engagement state mediated the pathway from early…

Cross-lagged panel analysis was used to examine associations between two joint engagement variables; higher order supported joint engagement and higher order supported joint engagement that co-occurs with caregiver's follow-in talk (higher order supported joint engagement + follow-in), and expressive and receptive vocabulary in a group of young…

Download full textWard, Karen D.; Shukla Mehta, Smita – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Social participation of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in natural environments can be enhanced by teaching them to communicate spontaneously, at least in situations where they have the motivation to access specific items or activities by controlling the amount of access for these stimuli. The purpose of this study was to determine…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Hauschild, Kathryn M.; Klingemier, Eric; Strauss, Mark S.; Hardan, Antonio Y.; Youngstrom, Eric A. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2020
Background: Language assessment is a key element of evaluations of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The present study examined the validity of a gaze-based receptive language index (RLI) in predicting language test results.Method: Participants included toddlers, pre-school, and school age children and adolescents…
